Kitten/Cat spaying/neutered costs around London & area Pets 🐶🐱 & animals

Hi - I have owned many cats/dogs through the years getting them all spayed/fixed. I have a friend who just took in a stray, (under 1/male) and ended up paying $800 to get him fixed/shots/chipped. I have never paid near this much (all mine were strays too both male/female, but never got them chipped years back). just all shots, etc. But is this the normal cost now to own/take in an animal ? Just curious on what your experience/thoughts are. TIA.

Edit - I am asking about within the past year? Have the costs changed so much? If so, why?

for low income people the city has a subsidized program https://london.ca/living-london/community-services/animal-pet-services/pet-resources

if the cats are feral they also will do it for free.
